Taylor Hicks Raises the Roof at the "Capitol Fourth" Festivities!

Once again, our soulman does his thang at the Capitol! Movin' and groovin' like only he can! I'm positive that these performances reminded people who voted for him 2 years ago on American Idol what a dynamic performer Taylor is and that he's still out there smiling and entertaining.

This is what the Washington Post had to say about Taylor's set: "...American Idol winner Taylor Hicks electrified the crowd with a jazzed-up rendition of "This Land Is Your Land..."

Ohh...wish I could have been there! I don't think I have ever seen Taylor look any happier. I am so happy that I am one of those people who "can just listen to the music" and enjoy. Loved... Loved.. Loved.. all performances.

I went to 3 shows last year, all different, but you know what, I went out that door with a big SMILE. I think some should try that..."Just listen to the music".

"...I'm considered an older artist in the pop music genre. I don't really care, though. All I really care about is making a really good, cool, hip record with great songs. They can't package me, man. I've been on the road for ten years and know the direction I want to go in and I know my vision. It's taken me this far to get where I'm going. I'm an artist that's created this concept but used the American Idol machine as a marketing tool..."Taylor HicksRelix MagazineOct. 2006
